What To Do

What would you do if you learned that your child was slowly dying?

Think about it.

There is no book or group (that I could find and I am pretty darn resourceful) that specifically addresses how to live a fullfilling life caring for a dying child.

Who would you ask for advice from?Who could you talk to in order to vent?Who would understand the conflicting emotions inside of you?Who in the heck is going to understand?

I am that person and I am going to share my story.

It has been four years after the death of my only child and I don't feel guilty saying that I am really happy. I learned the very, very hard way, that being a giving and happy person after the loss of a child is a selfless act that honors your child.
